Carbon Twisting

Weavers of complex 3D carbon fiber preforms risk damaging fibers in the weaving process. Adding very low levels of highly consistent twist to each warp end, and the weft as well, allows the individual fibers to move past each other in the loom without damage. Concordia has developed custom machines for this purpose and can twist carbon fiber sizes ranging from 1K to 156K filaments.
